Serge Koussevitzky: Concerto for d-bass and Orchestra. 2nd and 3rd movement. Played by Rinat Ibragimov with Miriam Leskis, piano. Rinat plays a d-bass by Matheus Albany, a gift from his colleague and friend Alexander Stepanov. He uses Pirastro Solo Eudoxa strings. Rinat's website is at www.ibragimov.c...

[@JuanOrtiz-wv3zw]

I'm not criying, there's a Rinat in my eye.

[@theodorewhite164]

Most definitely one of the finest bassist of our times.

[@atoms-to-atoms]

its a gloriousl day here in Capetown, after a cycle and a swim in the sea... a wonderful coffee and Rinat..life is beautiful!

[@WiseBearPD]

Superb feeling tone and his vibrato is never overplayed, soothing truly a great double bassist.😊

[@scuba9891]

Leskis' face at 0:08. "There's your damn intro" 😂

[@luborkloda8903]

3:15 the tone. Many violoncello players would be proud of this color and intonation.

[@RockStarOscarStern634]

They like the sound

[@pinosevera]

Amazing sound I agree, he played cello before playing bass, maybe that is the reason

[@RockStarOscarStern634]

@@pinosevera Of course you can tune a Double Bass in 5ths with the new 5ths Tuned Bass String set.

[@nonosquare1066]

as they should

[@matthewv789]

@@pinosevera Interesting, so did Mikyung Sung, and I’ve always thought her playing is much more cello-istic (lightly melodic and with clear, bright overtones) and less like a typical bass player (rough, gruff, and lugubrious, usually).

[@manny75586]

Simply gorgeous lush tone. Perfect for this piece really.

[@anthonycasolari]

What he does at the ending of the 2nd movement is simply astounding. Taking it up another octave... It's inspired me to do the same for my audition in February. Rinat's rendition of any of the bass concertos I've seen are always exquisite.

[@federicoandre5717]

This is actually common practice among many bass players, to do this section in harmonics. The first time I heard about this was back in the 90's, in a master class with the late Lucas Drew, where he suggested to try it this way.

[@isaacsanchez8328]

I know this comment is old but Koussevistky does it in his own recording

[@ricardostein3302]

An outstanding musician bass-player ! He plays wth the "legerte" of a Cellist without losing the particularities of of the double bass

[@alliou2871]

the vibrato is amazing

[@AndrewBratkov]

самое лучшее исполнение из всех что я слышал!!!!!! это восхитительно!!!!!!!!! БРАВО!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@Leungy12252]

you have such a great lyrical voice and of course bond tone from the bass. And this is what makes a bass sound as much as beautiful as the cello does.

[@danielscheinhaus5210]

The most beautiful tonal quality and perfect intonation I've ever heard -- and expressiveness!

[@matthewv789]

You might like hearing Mikyung play these movements, even though they are just a low-res cellphone of her practicing in a noisy practice room with poor acoustics. But they are at least the equal of this anyway.

[@Awqkened903]

Nah Mikyung is really good but Rinat just has something more to it that Mikyung doesn’t have

[@TheFreebasslessons]

Well played!! breath taking.

[@revorrah]

Fabulous!

[@dioiod]

very good, congratulations.

[@RockStarOscarStern634]

It's Solo Fourths Tuning. The Strings for this Tuning are slightly thinner than Orchestral Double Bass Strings. Many players tuned them to Orchestral tuning to get a different sound.

[@Pomidorisgogo]

Very impressive!

[@MohamedGehmi]

very good!

[@FFraioli]

Great! That's Koussevitzky.

[@RockStarOscarStern634]

[@serranaomi]

He really nailed the harmonics. And everything else, of course, but the harmonics were what caught my ear.

Yes

[@SK_Zen]

Those octaves at 2:05 are just impossible to get, yet he has them so perfectly. Sigh.

[@matthewv789]

Mikyung does them with scary effortlessness too (though she has to stretch her tiny hand like crazy to reach it).

Bro how is it effortless if you have to stretch like crazy 💀

Mikyung Sung… (when properly recorded in a decent acoustic at least). Expression and intensity like no one else. But also Luis Cabrera Martin, David Desimpelaere, Wies de Boeve, Odon Racz, Boguslaw Furtok, Michael Wolf, Minje Sung, Eugene Levinson in the past, and more.
